About the Detroit auto show

One of the most in-demand items from any Corvette launch is a copy of the press kit given to journalists. Press materials from previous Corvette launches appear regularly on web auction sites and at swamp meets.

For the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette to be unveiled Sunday for the Detroit auto show, Chevrolet is using that popularity to help raise money for the American Cancer Society.

Chevy will put a copy of the C7 Corvette press kit--signed by top executives such as chief engineer Tadge Juechter--up for auction on eBay. The auction begins Sunday at 7 p.m. Eastern, which coincides with the reveal of the redesigned Corvette in Detroit, and ends two days later at 7 p.m. Jan. 15.

The press kit includes a color booklet, a USB memory stick loaded with press releases and photographs, and a commemorative plaque.

The annual North American International Auto Show, better known as the Detroit auto show, has maintained its place as a barometer for the entire industry. For 2013, NAIAS takes place Jan. 14-27 and will host concept cars, green cars and supercars from all the major automakers, including what's expected to be a highlight this year: the new 2014 Chevroelt Corvette.
